As dawn broke, Qingyan got up early to prepare breakfast. After breakfast, as arranged by Yin, they took the twins to the imperial tent. The two little ones had been cooped up in the tent for several days and were eager to go out.
After breakfast, he picked up Hutuli Fengsheng Zhalafen, who was wearing a tiger-skin onesie. The little guy smiled happily at him. Yikene was wearing the same tiger-skin outfit for boys. Both of them had two cute little ears on their hats.
They nestled obediently on their parents' shoulders, like two adorable little tigers. People who looked at the family of four from afar couldn't help but feel envious.
Soon, the group entered the imperial tent. After paying their respects, Kangxi found his grandson and granddaughter's outfits adorable and asked them to let the children play beside him. Watching the two little ones wrestling and rolling around together, he couldn't help but laugh.
The news from Yinzhi forced Kangxi to take it seriously. Recently, she hadn't had much energy to deal with the servants around her, who were all ungrateful and had started a new round of power struggles.
"Fourth brother, your suggestion is also acceptable. The eldest brother will be here soon. You two brothers should work together!" Kangxi was also secretly investigating the spies mixed in with the royal family. Some of them had already gotten close to their masters and were preparing to launch a counterattack when the opportunity arose.
Consort Tong, holding Xiao Guai, muttered to herself. Qingyan knew that as the mistresses of the household, they had to follow Kangxi's plan to prevent the servants from having any backup plans.
"Little darling, be prepared. Once it starts, the twins will face a great crisis." Consort Tong didn't want the twins to be in danger, so she could only repeatedly remind Qingyan.
Fortunately, Qingyan didn't like having wet nurses take care of the twins, and in order to deceive the stewards of the Imperial Household Department, none of the wet nurses said that Qingyan was the one feeding the twins.
The stewards of the Imperial Household Department had planted spies in the small kitchen where the nannies lived, hoping to cause problems with their food if necessary. This wouldn't pose any danger to the twins, but it would cause a slight deviation in their health so that Yinzhi and Qingyan could replace the nannies. At that time, their trusted confidants would be safely placed by the twins' side.
"Mother, I have made arrangements, and the wet nurses will not act rashly!" Qingyan was glad that she had brought the wet nurses' children close to the mansion. She would personally feed the twins, while the wet nurses would feed their own children.
If someone has sabotaged things, the one who will be truly in danger is the wet nurse's child, and has nothing to do with the two children.
Of course, Qingyan would also have someone keep a close eye on her at all times, and if there were any problems with the wet nurse's offspring, they would arrange for the twins to get sick.
The two children also had stand-ins, so that the imperial physicians bribed by the powerful families of the Imperial Household Department would not discover any flaws.
Now, their pre-arranged plan is about to be implemented. Consort Tong had already spoken with Xiao Guai, asking her to pay close attention to the health of the two children.
"Little darling, you need to know that these people are not only hiding in the maids' kitchens, but also in yours!" Consort Tong knew that Qingyan's kitchen was personally managed by the maids who came with her dowry. Even if the maids who came with her dowry were not the problem, what about the little palace maids under their command?
Since they left the palace, many problems have arisen, and Yin has had to consider the well-being of his two children.
She even planned to increase the number of staff in the small kitchen, and if a problem occurred even once, she would resolutely replace the staff.
Xiao Guai's tricks made it impossible for the maids who entered the small kitchen to play a significant role, and they were easily exposed.
Su Zhu is also very clever. After discovering the problem, she made sure to arrange everything so that Qing Yan would have a chance to recover.
"Mother, is there a problem with my private kitchen too?!" Qingyan exclaimed in surprise, while Yin listened intently to the commotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cast a concerned glance at them. If there really was a problem, Yin felt he should take better care of these people.
"Fourth Prince, we need to pay close attention to Xiao Guai's kitchen. Even the kitchen in Chenggan Palace is starting to have some trouble. Some of the peripheral servants are betraying their masters for petty gains, or they might reveal what their masters like to eat." Kangxi saw that Consort Tong had already told him the story, and he also felt that there were some things that the two children should know.
Yin was taken aback. He had carefully arranged the small kitchen, so there shouldn't be too much trouble. Even Kangxi said that there was trouble in Chenggan Palace, so he wasn't too sure. After all, Consort Tong's methods were more ruthless than Qingyan's. Even Consort Tong couldn't completely control the kitchen, so one could imagine how much darkness was involved.
"Mother, Xiao Guai is still young. What do you think should be done about the matter in the kitchen?" Yin felt he should ask Tong Gui for help, so he didn't mince words and asked directly.
Consort Tong smiled and looked directly at Emperor Kangxi.
"You brat, when you encounter trouble, you tell your wicked mother. Can't you just let me see things clearly?" Kangxi said directly.
That brat Yin, in order to be absolutely sure, actually had the audacity to ask Consort Tong for advice.
Qingyan smiled, realizing that Yin was truly going all out for the three of them.
“Father, I’m just protecting the twins. Do you want something to happen to your only grandson?” Yin rolled his eyes.
The fact that Kangxi was able to say this suggests that he had already made a decision; this was merely a warning to them.
Kangxi was furious that no one noticed the various problems that were arising around him.
"Yes, it was my fault. When you dealt with the Imperial Household Department, why didn't you think that these people would resort to desperate measures? You were only thinking about how to deal with them quickly!" Yin and Yin's methods in dealing with the Imperial Household Department were somewhat ruthless, which made the servants both fearful and resentful.
Listening to Kangxi's analysis, Yin couldn't help but feel happy. Kangxi was indeed shrewd and experienced, and in some matters, he thought more comprehensively than Yin.
Even after reigning as emperor for thirteen years, Yin still hadn't learned to be tactful; he only used his own methods to protect his wife and children.
"Fourth Prince, you better watch out! If this kind of problem happens again, I really won't care!" Kangxi was very angry. Yin really did something wrong. He directly challenged the bottom line of those people in the Imperial Household Department, which is why he was schemed against.
Furthermore, the servants of the Imperial Household Department hoped to gain some benefits from Yinzhi, so that Qingyan would fall out of favor and Yinzhi would favor the women arranged by the servants of the Imperial Household Department. All of this was done in secret.
However, the answer Kangxi received was even more astonishing. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
